Let me start by saying I did not intend to start the firestorm I did with my last blog post. It was a look at the extremes of both. It seemed to some that I did not shed a positive light on the Offroad world. That was not what tried to do or say. I enjoy both activities, a lot. I have spend many years doing both as well. I have planned and gone on long distance overlainding trips and I have been a part of the planning for fun day trips to the local offroad parks. The mind set of each is completely different. I am sorry if you ddon't not agree, I am also not saying anything bad about either one. I am passionate about both and will defend each activity. I don't mind the bad comments and read every comment good or bad. I try my best to respond to most. I even try and use the comments as fuel for future post, as I did with the last post. The argument has gone on forever, so I tried to put a different light on it, some agreed some did not. I did not intend to fix the argument or change anybody's view. Just tried to get people to think about how we Overland vs how we Offroad. I didn't mean that we don't go offroad and push our vehicles when we Overland, we do. For those unhappy about my last post I am sorry and will do better at explaining my views. I don't pretend to think that everyone will agree, but I can promise you I didn't not plan to make anyone mad. We may tag different labels for Overlanding, rock crawling, muddling, and off-roading but the public sees it all as the same. It is our job as a whole to create a positive image for what we do. I hope this helps. Please let me know what topics you would like to see in the future. And as always GO ALL OVER!

Everyone has there own definition of what something is. Thank goodness we live in a country where we can disagree but do it in a civil way. That is why I like to talk to different people, see how they do things and then create adventures for myself!
